Here is you question of the month...worth a major prize if you get the correct answer. The Iowa State Fair is famous for food on a stick. Probably the first was the CORN DOG. What year did Campbell's Concession first sell Corn Dogs at the Iowa State Fair? Keep the replies coming, because we have multiple prizes! If you want more information about the fair; times, tickets, schedules etc. go to http://iowastatefair.org
I BELIEVE THEY STARTED SELLING THOSE GREAT CORN DOGS LONG BEFORE I WAS BORN IN 1954, HOWEVER I'M SURE BILL WAS AROUND, AND PROBABLY FIRST IN LINE TO BUY A DOZEN OR SO BACK THEN... LOL
ReplyDeleteI also think it was 1954
ReplyDeleteI believe it was 1954.. that was a hard question
ReplyDeleteActually Bill probably did eat his first corndog at the fair with his Grandpa Eisenlauer who lived on the corner of E 30th and Dean. And you can ask Bob his record for corn dog eating...he used to have a contest to see how many he could eat. Usually it was more than we wanted to pay for!
ReplyDeleteI believe it was 1903 when the fair was in Iowa City.

ReplyDelete1954 is the year i think but i am not sure. Someone needs to ask bob or anna or john or dillion how many hot dogs a day did they stick during the fair in the day. Anna Bob and I did it one year it was the best year ever at the fair that i remeber. Then it was johns turn he only lasted a year i think and he wanted something more challenging. Then now we got Dillon in there sticking he did last year and this year to he is starting to hate hotdogs now i can tell.
